Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°f (175°C). Prepare a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
  • In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light in color and fluffy.
  • Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next one.
  • Mix in the mashed bananas and vanilla extract until well combined.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  • Bake for 45 Minutes, or the center of the banana bread comes out clean when a toothpick is inserted into it.
  • Remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
  • Transfer the bread to a wire rack and allow it to cool completely before slicing. Enjoy!
